That is a very good question? The snow along with cold tempertures and all the rain has many worried around here about major flooding. We have only had to water the garden one time in this past month. Even then if we would of waited the rain would of done the job for us. Today's picking in the garden gave us a huge weeks worth of lettuce and spinach. I am going to use the lilac for making some sweet smelling bath oil.
My lilac bath oil in the making....this is to be enjoyed when and if my bathroom remodel gets done!!!!!!!!!!!
Our 2011 garden is in the works as the pictures display things are growing...
These are the peas, onions, and GARLIC...looking forward to the garlic!
It looks as if I will be canning some delious rhubard sauce next week...
The sunflowers, we have so many coming up all over the garden this year we cleared (Brent my gardner man)out an area to transplant some of them...
We now have a much bigger pumpkin patch, this year we are trying to grow some giant ones so be ready to see our works!
We may be expanding the garden as Aunt Trudy has given me permission to use a portion of her yard that she is not using this year. I am in great thought as to what I would like to plant. I have been thinking of some cut flowers, grouds, herbs, and perhaps just get it cleaned up to prepare for a fall garden.
Yummy potatoes.....
My Iris' have bloom and have looked some what better in past years. Though the rain has helped the hard rain and hail has been hard on the flowers and all plants this year. For Mothers Day we went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Pointe. Many plants, trees and especially the roses were damaged bad from our snow and long winter cold temperatures...
